Spaghetti with Parsley Pesto

Inexpensive and available year round, parsley is the main ingredient in this pesto. You can use it to make this simple and delectable sauce for your pasta or use pesto on top of grilled vegetables or meats, or spread on sandwiches. The original recipe contains almonds instead of pumpkin seeds. I made a this change because of tree nuts allergy in my family. Very often i use pumpkin seeds, blanched peanuts, or sunflower seeds to substitute for nuts in recipes.

A few more words about parsley. It is loaded with vitamin C, vitamin K and vitamin A; also it is a good source of folate, niacin and iron. It goes practically with everything, you can use it on the top of mashed potatoes, with any kind of soup or salad and to garnish any savory dish.
